Keith Weiner on How Gold Outshines Bitcoin as a Long-Term Investment
Manage episode 428212908 series 3383922
Step into the world of precious metals with our fascinating guest, Keith Weiner, founder of Monetary Metals. Ever wondered how you can earn interest on gold, an asset traditionally seen as non-yielding? Keith reveals his journey from tech entrepreneur to economics PhD, and unpacks the innovative strategies his company uses to lend and rent gold to businesses. Learn how these practices reflect the broader economic system, particularly in the context of a debt-driven economy and the historical value of gold as a measure against the declining dollar.
Curious about the dynamics between gold and Bitcoin? We break down the historical price fluctuations of gold and the factors driving its market. Post-COVID, the gold market has shown a bullish trend, but what about Bitcoin's role as "digital gold"? Keith and I critically examine Bitcoin’s volatility and why it fails to serve as a stable store of value compared to the timeless reliability of gold. Through this comparison, we challenge high-conviction beliefs in Bitcoin and its limitations, particularly for those seeking stable, long-term investments.
We also journey around the globe to understand the burgeoning demand for gold in places like China, Turkey, India, and the Arab world. Despite dwindling volumes in Western Europe, gold prices remain high, driven by regional economic conditions and currency devaluation fears. Additionally, we explore the roles of silver and gold in today's economy, the potential of silver bonds, and the implications of holding precious metals in various forms. Keith provides a rich perspective on these topics, blending historical context with contemporary insights, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in the intricate dance of monetary policy and precious metals.
